After the release of the Trio’s critically acclaimed Live at the Village Vanguard earlier this spring on Pi Recordings, Marc Ribot Trio (with Henry Grimes and Chad Taylor) kicks off their European Record Release tour this November with a home show at NYC’s Le Poisson Rouge, November 3rd. On this special evening we will also be celebrating Henry Grimes’ 79th Birthday!
 
“One of the most amazing evenings of music I’ve experienced… It’s a power-trio, sheets-of-sound extravaganza. Ribot brings a fire hose of invention, Taylor, a whirlwind of force and Grimes a direct connection to the lineage that ensures the proceedings are correct… Not only does it all work, it’s genius… I guarantee that this album will be on my Top 10 list at the end of the year. It’s that good.”
— Frank Alkyer, DownBeat
 
“Dazzling and unique… The music isn’t pretty in the usual sense of the word, but it grows with intense feeling, and the effect is breathtaking, even emotionally compelling. You wish you’d been there to hear it, to hold your breath for long stretches of daring, only to suck the air back in in gulps when it was possible… Grimes and Taylor swing like mad at a quick tempo, and Ribot flies, sounding utterly like a complete jazz player, even as he finds the tones and blues cries that make rock so compelling… The recording easily earns its historically notable title.”
— Will Layman, Pop Matters
 
 

“Inspired by the driving matrix of late saxman Albert Ayler, Ribot, bassist Henry Grimes (who recorded with Ayler at the Vanguard in the ‘60s), and drummer Chad Taylor conjure up a storm that teems and abates, but never lets up until a final note is struck in each composition: two Aylers, two Coltranes, two standards. Ribot (Tom Waits, Elvis Costello) is one of the most stirring improvisational guitarists in the music racket, wreaking a gorgeous havoc combined with jazz, rock, Delta blues and even country riffs. No matter how far out he gets, though, he never loses the trademark clarity that sets him apart from his peers.”
— Michael Simmons, Mojo Magazine
